Norfolk County Council is holding a series of consultation events on their plans for Rail Trails including the former railway routes from Lynn to Hunstanton and Fakenham. These are critical for cycling in West Norfolk and offer chances to improve the connections to the north and create a first good connection to the east. Events ...
As mentioned in the previous post about the Bawsey Bumps, "we would really really like" an alternative to the B1145 Bawsey Bumps which is currently the most-used route for cycling east. It's horrible but the alternatives are even worse, involving a very long detour such as 35 miles south to Brandon or mixing it with ...
In Norfolk County Council's Cycling and Walking Strategy (previously the Cycling and Walking Action Plan - CWAP), there's a map of the King's Lynn Cycling Network as well as the long-distance route map mentioned in "Bawsey Bumps and the CWAP Map". Here's the King's Lynn Cycling Network: Looks good, doesn't it? Look closer. Look, for ...
Dear Friend or Fellow Campaigner, All you free this Friday morning? On Friday, the Environment, Development and Transport Committee of Norfolk County Council will decide on the Traffic Order to open Harding's Way South to motor traffic, including HGVs. The Conservatives have 9 out of 13 votes on the Committee and it will be a ...
We interrupt our scheduled series to ask for your help! The traffic survey posts have appeared around town and we'd like to know where they really are. If you spot one, please could you submit the details on this form? They may look something like this: That one is an orange box tied and wired ...

The reason this petition was started was that a previous one garnered on a community walk across Harding's Pits by County Councillor Alexandra Kemp was declined by the council ruling Conservative Group on the basis that ...
Here's a copy of our objection to application 17/1008/F by the Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk to itself to move the bus gate north, remove the restrictions south of there and add three turnings off Harding's Way. It's a bit long but that's because the plan seems to contradict so many policies, ...
Please share widely! Explanation from County Councillor Alex Kemp - "nearly all Borough Councillors at last Wednesday's Regeneration Panel spoke in favour of opening up Hardings Way to traffic, for the benefit of 436 flats they want on the Boal Quay. They ignored the objections of Whitefriars School I forwarded to them.This will ruin the ...
The borough council's Regeneration and Development Panel will receive a "final options report" at this evening's meeting (28 June 2017) which claims that "55% preferred Option 3" - this is clearly misleading, because the Public Consultation Report claimed support for the three options added up to 100% and we know there were people who opposed ...
The 2008/9 project that widened Harding's Way and allowed buses onto it included five cycling measures, which I (MJ) feel was an attempt to persuade cyclists to support the project. Only one has been completed so far and the other four remain needed. So can you understand why some of us are angry about the ...
